hey sara,
we're so much the same...i had an umbilical hernia myself. he repaired that too. made it sound ilke not a big deal and i asked how i probably got it..he said most likely born with it.
i agree with you, this is PAIN!! i didn't have to bring home oxygen, but i slept with it in the hospital. the doc only gave me 1 drug to come home while i had 2 in there. my god it hurts! he said i could also take liquid tylenol....aparently the stores don't stock that anymore for adults, so im taking 12.5 dropper fulls of infant...craziness!
anyhow, keeping this short. hurts to sit here.
i also stayed an extra day..not that there was a problem, but i had not passed gas...silly, but ok, somoene doting on me another day, i'll take it. lol
glad you're home and doing well too. we're officially in the loser's bench! :)
